CH : 221 Sandy Arrives In City of Monsters And Meeting Black Dragon Lord

Sandy was puzzled.

At first, she hadn't given it much thought, assuming it was merely a powerful black dragon. But Mala's extreme caution, his fear of any conflict, made her pay closer attention.

The current situation was delicate. Though Dragon Island had not intervened directly, it was still monitoring events on the mainland.

A legendary black dragon emerging at this time would have a significant impact.

After all, within the Tal Plane, all Chromatic dragons that reached adulthood were already considered part of the Crimson Nest in the eyes of other creatures. If they weren't now, they almost certainly would be in the future.

Everyone knew the ambition of the Crimson Mother—to dominate the Tal Plane and establish a kingdom for Chromatic dragons. This was an almost irresistible temptation for any Chromatic dragon.

Mala explained the situation to Sandy, starting from Blackwing Lair's early days before unifying the Dark Forest to its current dominance, establishing a kingdom of monsters. He gave a brief but clear summary of its rise. Leaving all the destruction and death aside even if it was all due to humans.

However, Mala failed to notice the subtle change in Sandy's expression. As he spoke, the silver dragon girl's bright silver eyes gleamed with an odd light.

By the time he realized it, it was already too late.

Sandy's interest had been completely piqued.

When Mala turned to look at his friend, he saw the excitement in her gaze and felt his heart sink.

It was over.

He hadn't seen her in over a century and had nearly forgotten—his silver dragon friend was a lord-obsessed silver dragon.

Anything involving territory development, no matter how big or small, captivated her fanatically.

Mala vaguely recalled an incident hundreds of years ago when Sandy had learned that a gold dragon elder on Dragon Island possessed knowledge about the manufacturing of an ancient special metal. Without hesitation, she had snuck into the elder's lair, attempting to steal the information.

In the end, she had failed to acquire the special metal knowledge and was severely punished by her Silver Dragon parents, who handed her over to the Golden Dragon elders for discipline.

But even so, Sandy didn't give up. After a while, she went to steal again. This time, she was smarter and learned spells that could decipher the corresponding items in the dragon's nest of the elders of the gold dragon. She also painstakingly made pirated corresponding items.

The gold dragon elder didn't think that Sandy had the guts to come to his dragon's nest to steal, so he never found out about it.

It wasn't until more than a hundred years later that the elder gold dragon turned over in his sleep and accidentally touched an object that recorded extraordinary metal knowledge. He sensed something was wrong and discovered this.

But it was too late. That kind of ancient metal knowledge had long been studied by Sandy, and she had also applied it to her own territory, using it to create a very powerful silver-based warrior.

Although the item recording extraordinary knowledge was returned in the end, the elder gold dragon was still aggrieved, but in the end, he could only sigh helplessly.

After all, she was his junior, and the work was done, so he couldn't help but let the other party's territory use this metal, right?

That would be too stingy.

Something like this happened more than once.

The reason Mara knew about it was that Sandy always liked to talk about these things, and she would chat with him and tell him proudly whenever she had free time.

"That's a legendary black dragon. Don't do anything stupid!" Mara couldn't help but admonish.

Sandy said indifferently, "Isn't it neutral? It's no problem. Besides, I'm not going to steal anything, just to communicate."

"But..." Mara was still a little hesitant, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that there was no big problem.

At best, Sandy would be beaten severely.

"Then I don't care about you, but this time, if you go to the Black Dragon Lord and find out the origin of those strange dragons from him, you must tell me," Mara sighed and ended the conversation.

Gonzalo and the other six giant dragons were still having a lively discussion, but the topic had changed from the age and strength of the silver dragon girl to how many moves they could last against her.

"I think I can last ten moves," Gonzalo said confidently.

"Brother Gonzalo, although confidence is a good thing, if it is excessive, it will turn into arrogance," Gold Dragon Isis reminded.

"Are you teaching your big brother? Come on, come on, we haven't fought in a long time. Let me see if you've made any progress," Gonzalo hummed and flexed his huge muscles.

The gold dragon Isis looked away slightly and changed the subject quite naturally, "So do you think it is appropriate for a 1,400-year-old silver dragon girl to be our father's maid?"

??

??

The above question marks came from the elf elder Mara and the 1,400-year-old silver dragon girl Sandy.

"I ask you, don't you know how to respect the strong?" Sandy finally couldn't help it anymore.

She felt that these six giant dragons were a bit dull, worse than two- or three-year-old baby dragons.

The six giant dragons all cast their gazes on Sandy. Looking at the six pairs of large, clear dragon eyes, Sandy covered her forehead.

There was an illusion that she was bullying a fool.

At the same time, the speculation in her heart grew stronger.

"But how is it possible? Although it is a bit harsh to obtain wisdom, there is also a way to achieve it. Among the legendary spells, there is 'Blank Soul Shaping.'

However, if the dragon beast that failed to accept the dragon inheritance has a dragon body and aura that rivals a true dragon, even the Dragon God may not be able to do it, right?"

Sandy couldn't guess the power of the gods, but since the problem of dragon beasts had existed since ancient times, it must be impossible for the dragon gods to solve it.

In other words, even if it could be solved, the cost was too high, exceeding the benefits that the dragon beast itself could bring to the dragon clan.

In a somewhat complicated mood, the three parties finally reached friendly communication after some difficult exchanges. In the end, it was the leader of the Red Eagle Knights, 'Bauer,' who couldn't bear it anymore and personally stepped in to mediate between Sandy and the elf elder, bringing the topic to an end.

Otherwise, Gonzalo and the others could have chatted with Sandy and the others for three days and three nights.

After all, just a few years after they were 'born,' they had never seen the outside world or interacted with other creatures except those of Castle Black. Now, they suddenly met someone they could communicate with amicably, and their identity was very special. Naturally, Gonzalo and the others were enthusiastic.

"You stay here and take care of these little dragons. I will take the guests back to Monster City first," Bauer instructed his deputy, then hurriedly returned to Monster City with the silver dragon girl Sandy through a teleportation door.

When you know the coordinates clearly, you can basically get there in the blink of an eye, which is extremely efficient.

"Is this the city of monsters?"

Sandy observed the streets, pedestrians, shops, and various details of Monster City, raising her beautiful eyebrows.

She felt both surprised and disappointed.

Surprisingly, a black dragon had actually created such a huge city.

Disappointingly, the construction of the city was too rough—not only in the buildings but also in the scarcity and deformity of various types of shops.

"But considering that the construction time was only a little over ten years, this is pretty good," Sandy said to herself.

"Guest, this is Lady Sophia, the head maid of Castle Black. Lady Sophia will take you to Castle Black next," Bauer reminded, calling Sandy back from her thoughts as she observed Monster City.

"This guest, please come with me."

A gentle voice came from the side.

Sandy looked over, and the first thing she noticed was a thick and thin waist.

Although the description was a bit weird, when applied to a beautiful maid more than three meters tall, it was not inconsistent at all.

"Are you a dragon-born human?" Sandy asked with some uncertainty, looking up at the beautiful maid in front of her, who was as tall as a little giant.

Sophia lowered her head and smiled at her. "Yes."

Sandy opened her mouth slightly and covered her forehead again.

This had a small impact on her worldview.

Although the power of dragon veins could stimulate the growth of living things, it was absolutely impossible to have such an exaggerated effect.

Growing from 1.7 meters to 2 meters was one thing...

"Is there a possibility that you actually have the blood of a giant?" Sandy asked seriously.

"No such possibility, guest," Sophia smiled.

Following the head maid Sophia, she entered Castle Black from Monster City. After seeing more tall and exaggerated dragon-born humans and monsters busy in their duties, Sandy finally believed that Sophia had not lied to her.

Not all monsters and humans could have giant blood in their bodies, right?

In fact, back on the sea islands, the size of those Red Eagle Knights was exaggerated compared to normal humans. As the elite of the Red Eagle Knights, their strength had all reached a high order. In addition to their good talents, they were also deeply influenced by the power of the void. Their body sizes generally exceeded two and a half meters, and that was after a relatively short period. After ten years, it was normal for them to grow beyond three meters.

But at that time, neither Sandy nor Mara, the great elf elder, had actually paid much attention to this. The former was well-informed, and the latter had communicated with Black Wing Lair for several years, knowing some information about Black Lair, so he was not surprised.

Besides, compared with dragon-born humans, those abnormal dragons were obviously more worthy of attention. Besides, 2.56 meters was not an exaggeration. Barbarians, giant bloodlines, monster bloodlines, dragonborn bloodlines—there were too many ways to stimulate physical development.

The most important thing was that there were only a hundred of them, which was too small a number.

However, when she arrived at Monster City and looked at all kinds of monsters and demi-humans walking on the street, Sandy didn't feel it at first. After all, it is normal for monsters and dragonborn to be larger in size. Until she met Sophia, and after entering Castle Black, Sandy began to think deeply when she saw the guards and maids who were obviously human but each two or three meters tall.

"Sophia, has your Black Nest developed a secret medicine or magic potion for physical enhancement that can be mass-produced?" Sandy asked curiously without covering up.

"This is a secret." Sophia smiled slightly and said.

Although many monsters in Black Wing Lair know that as long as they obtain the bloodline of the Black Dragon Lord, they can improve their strength and increase their size, whether others will believe it is another matter.

Can the blood of the black dragon have such an effect?

Don't be ridiculous. For a strong person who knows the effect of the dragon's veins, this is just nonsense and a lie.

They would rather believe that Black Wing Lair, under the guise of the Black Dragon Lord's bloodline, is mixing in strange potions that can increase body size in order to achieve the purpose of spreading majesty and making rule more conducive. They are not willing to believe that this is due to the Black Dragon Lord's bloodline.

This is thinking solidification.

Even Sandy was thinking that Black Wing Lair had mastered the production method of some kind of mass-produced special potion.

"Secret?" Sandy smiled slightly, not caring about Sophia's answer. Instead, she became more and more interested in this 'special potion.'

However, she also understood that if this potion was so effective, it would either have huge side effects or consume very precious resources. Judging from the abnormally sized monsters and humans that could be seen everywhere in Monster City today, Sandy was more inclined to the former.

"We'll see if we can trade later," Sandy thought in her mind.

Her lord fetish was starting to kick in again.

The two walked through the dark square and entered the core of Castle Black—Dragon Pond.

As they continued to go deeper, in the steamy dragon pond, in the sight of Sandy and Sophia, they could vaguely see the giant thing in the mist.

Inhale, the wind sounds, and the vortex arises.

Exhale, the drums are deep and heavy, and the waves rise.

In Sandy's visual inspection, the exaggerated black dragon in front of her was already over fifty-six meters tall.

This reminded her of the legendary dragon elders on Dragon Island, and then she discovered that none of them could surpass the black dragon leader in size. There were a few close to him, but those few were all legendary gold dragons. Compared with dragons of the same age, the red dragon also had a huge gold dragon! Among the Chromatic dragons and Metallic dragons, the size of the gold dragon was undoubtedly the largest among dragons of the same age, and the strength of their dragon bodies was also unquestionably first.

The only one who could truly surpass the Black Dragon Lord in terms of size was probably the Ignis Crown Prince, who was suspected of sleeping deep in Dragon Island, but that Crown Prince was a legendary ancient gold dragon who could go head-to-head with the Crimson Mother.

Exaggeration, too much exaggeration!!

So much so that Sandy, who was usually courageous, subconsciously stopped moving forward. The teleportation spell around her body flickered, and she could start running away at any time.

Although Sandy had not become a legend even at the age of 1,400, she had not truly wasted her time. In terms of caster level, she had reached the peak of level 19 a thousand years ago.

During the one thousand years that she was stuck and unable to break through, Sandy had mastered enough spells to confidently call herself a walking spell library.

Some legendary mages with weak foundations might not have mastered as many spells as she had.

In addition to not mastering legendary spells, Sandy was almost equivalent to a legendary mage in terms of spell attainments. Coupled with the huge and pure spiritual power that she had cultivated for more than a thousand years, she could tell at a glance that the Black Dragon Lord had not used anything to grow in size.

In other words, the other party was not deliberately scaring her—this was the other party's true form.

Wouldn't this scare the silver dragon girl who was only 1,400 years old?

When the gap in strength was too huge, any guarantee of a dragon alliance was empty, and Sandy was not the kind of silver dragon who was willing to give up her dragon life to other dragons' preferences.

Although the Black Dragon Lord was of a neutral camp...

Okay, Sandy admitted that she was timid. Who made those weird dragons keep clamoring for her to be the maid of the Black Dragon Lord? What if this Black Dragon Lord really had a special hobby? If the time came to imprison her... Sandy became more and more frightened as she thought about it and couldn't help but take a few steps back.

---

I opened my red eyes and looked at the silver-haired, barefooted girl who was standing on the stone steps on the water a kilometer away and still taking small steps back. I couldn't help but feel a little strange.

"Come here."

The Black Dragon Lord's voice was as low as thunder and full of majesty, but this made Sandy feel even more pressured. At this time, she was already thankful that she hadn't clashed with that strange group of dragons. Otherwise, if she had angered this Black Dragon Lord, even Dragon Island would have a headache.

"Your Majesty, I can just stand here," Sandy said politely.

I looked at the other person silently. At this time, I also realized that the other person was probably frightened by my size.

Just like the young red dragoness Carolina—she had been the same. As soon as she saw my dragon body, her voice suddenly softened by 360 degrees. As for her violent, arrogant, and overbearing nature, it was completely repressed and didn't show at all.

"I've bluffed the dragons too much, which has made my mentality inflated," I couldn't help but mutter in my mind.

In the distance, Sandy saw that the Black Dragon Lord did not speak but instead frowned, and she suddenly became nervous.

Had she made the other party angry with her behavior?

Just when Sandy was about to slip away at any moment, the Black Dragon Lord, lazily lying on the black rocks of the pool in the distance, spoke.

"Whatever. Why do you want to come to me?"

"Your Majesty, I encountered a group of giant dragons just now." Sandy hesitated for a while and finally spoke.

"Then what?" the Black Dragon Lord asked calmly.

"Then I thought they were quite naughty," Sandy suppressed her words.

"Yes," the Black Dragon Lord responded calmly.

Sandy couldn't help but whine in her heart when she looked at the Black Dragon Lord, who didn't follow her topic at all.

So difficult.

However, the matter was of great importance. Sandy gritted her teeth, her heart pounded, and she tried not to offend the Black Dragon Lord as she spoke directly.

"Your Majesty, let me tell you the truth. There is a dragon beast on our Dragon Island. The dragon beasts on the island disappeared a few years ago. The number was about two hundred. Then, not long ago, I met more than three hundred in the western sea. There were giant dragons, and more than two hundred of them were metallic dragons. Are there any..."

Sandy spoke half-truthfully. She had actually not personally confirmed the number of giant dragons. The approximate number of Metallic dragons and Chromatic dragons had been told to her by the Emerald Forest.

Sandy was deceiving the Black Dragon Lord.
